Seems like most of the time when a customer (who isn't a kid in there to kill time) at a non-alcohol club comes in during the day... he IS there to spend at least SOME money. Even if he's turned most of the girls down... Could be he's waiting to see all the girls, or he's looking for a specific girl... Could be any number of things and you shouldn't necessarily write him off.
Honestly... things like studying on the floor can go one of two ways. It can give a customer something to talk to you about... or it make the customer feel like he 'doesn't want to bother you' and pick another girl.
Mr. Not-Spending-Right-Now may just need his buttons pushed correctly. If you were one of the girls he turned down by saying "not right now", then you either (A) did something wrong during your sales pitch, (B) he really just means not right now. (C) You're not his type or (D) He really is broke. IMO If he paid for a cover and a drink he has money to spend! Whether it be a tip on stage or a single dance to hours in VIP. Like I said, there's always the chance you're not his type or he really is broke, but 9-10 times if you do and say the right thing, minor details like hair color preferences and that 5 dollar budget, will go out the window.
Do the best you can with the situation. Maybe later really may mean maybe later. The LAST thing I'd do is sit and do homework or text or eat. Look busy. Chat up the VIP hosts for a few minutes, then walk across the the other side of the room to talk to the bartender, then move on again and chat up the manager. Do a stage. Hopefully by this time there's another customer. Talk to him. Make some sales. Then go back to Mr. Not-Spending-Right-Now. This whole time you've been away from him, you've been active and chatting and laughing. Don't think this goes unnoticed. By the looks of it, your attention is in demand. Sit with him for a few minutes and close the sale. The worst thing that can happen is he says no. Remember your conversation with him. Remember his body language and review this scenario when you get home. Try and figure out how you could have hustled to get some danced. Just learn from it all.
if there's one customer in the club, wait until like 3 girls talk to him so he's warmed up and has had a few drinks. the first girl is gonna get shot down, the second girl will most likely get shot down, the third girl will also probably get shot down depending on how long the first and second girl were sitting there for.
after 3 or so girls, try your luck with the guy. if he gets shot down, don't sweat it. just wait for more guys to come in. it's not really a big deal, you just overthink it when he's the only customer there, but it'll pick up later.
You trying to make him feel uncomfortable isn't going to solve anything. Guys who come just to watch for free don't care about strippers getting pissed that they aren't buying dances - if they did, they wouldn't do what they do, so you can't just piss them off into getting a dance or leaving. Just go about your business as if he's not there. Maybe check up on him if he's still there a while later with a cute one-liner and then move on.
It only takes one to make your night spectacular. Give him time, if he still shoots you down, wait til it picks up. Studying on the floor makes you look disinterested, as one of the newer girls found out at my club. She literally had her laptop out on the floor and was pissed off when no one wanted to tip her.
You could always start dirty talking him to heat his blood upfor a few minutes and then close the deal by telling him it's time to go private.
I'd make an effort to seem like the most fun person in there. If he's uninterested in the girls so far you really have to stand out, be happy and smiley and move around a lot (but try to stay in view). If you look fun, sexy and popular then you'll look like someone worth spending time on. Keep an eye on him so you can flash him a smile if he's looking, but go to the bar, have a shot, talk to all the staff....
At the end of last night we had just 2 customrs left, a guy and his son from Italy who have been in before but never spent. I introduced myself but moved away quickly as my friend warned me they were time wasters. I danced on the pole, moved around the club, drew fake tattoos on the other girls and had a shot or two. I was about to leave for a cigarette and the man comes over and offers me a drink. I drink and chat with him and it turned out that he didn't want private dances (which I'm assuming the other girls offered him) but he did enjoy the pole shows and would it be possible for me to go on again (we'd stopped rotation by that point). So i said sure, but only if he pays me, which he did. Happy me and happy him :D
I dealt with this a lot working opening at a club that had few to no customers for a few hours after open. My solution to was to let him sit down and get his drink ordered, then just sit down and chat, without even asking if he wanted company. I also never asked for a dance until at least one song went by. One song won't kill me if another customer comes in, even a regular, but that one song minimum of chit chat can make all the difference if utilized correctly. Once I decide I have him warmed up I offer to take things somewhere a little more private and we go to VIP. 90% of the men that came into that club and were the only ones there bought at least one dance from me, often several. The key is to not walk up and "wanna dance" him, because if he says no it's a lot harder (and often more awkward) to get him warmed up and willing.
